Junior UI Engineer

We are looking for a Junior UI Engineer to support the technical realization of our commercial advisory work. Gulf Associates works with chief executives and sovereign entities on high-stakes investment decisions and partnership strategies. Our partner is a global financial entity, and much of our current focus involves creating clear, functional digital interfaces that help their leadership team visualize complex market data and counterparty relationships. This role is fully remote, allowing you to contribute to senior-level decision support from any location while working closely with our partners.

What you will do

• Develop and maintain responsive user interface components using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Convert design mockups and wireframes into clean, functional code that aligns with our internal design standards.
• Collaborate with our advisory team to build dashboards and visualization tools that reflect ground reality for our clients.
• Support the creation of interactive prototypes used during high-level negotiations and regulator conversations.
• Maintain a consistent visual language across all digital deliverables to ensure clarity for senior decision-makers.
• Test and debug interfaces across various browsers and devices to ensure a smooth user experience.
• Assist in the documentation of UI patterns and components to help scale our internal technical capabilities.
• Participate in brief technical reviews to refine code quality and improve the performance of our tools.

What you bring

• A strong understanding of web fundamentals, including modern CSS layouts and semantic HTML.
• Basic proficiency in JavaScript and an interest in learning how to build data-heavy interfaces.
• A disciplined approach to remote work, with the ability to manage your own schedule and meet project milestones.
• Commercial curiosity and a desire to understand the logic behind complex deals and investment strategies.
• Excellent attention to detail, specifically regarding typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy.
• The ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to colleagues who may not have a coding background.
• A logical mindset for solving layout problems and improving the usability of digital tools.
• Academic or project-based experience that demonstrates your ability to build and deploy functional web pages.

What we offer

• Competitive pay that is attractive for an entry level position and reflects the importance of this role.
• The flexibility of a fully remote work environment, focusing on results rather than fixed hours.
• Direct exposure to the work of a senior-led advisory firm handling significant capital deployment.
• A professional environment where technical skill is applied to practical, real-world commercial problems.

Working at Gulf Associates

Gulf Associates operates with a focus on commercial judgment over theoretical models. We are a specialized firm that values the reality of how deals are made in the territory. Unlike larger corporate entities, our partners stay involved in every project from start to finish. This means our technical team members see how their work is used in actual negotiations and high-level meetings. We value honesty and direct communication, avoiding the fluff often found in the consultancy sector. Our culture is built on providing positions that clients can act on immediately, supported by evidence and clear presentation. In this role, you will find that we prioritize the utility of an interface and the accuracy of the data it presents over unnecessary technical trends.

The firm maintains a small book of active engagements to ensure we can provide the necessary attention to every client. This structure allows for a more focused working environment where your contributions to the UI are directly linked to the success of a partnership or a new market entry. We are comfortable being measured on the results that follow our advice, and we expect the same level of accountability and pride in the tools we build together.
